Question

int k=1,i=2;
while(++i<6)
k*=i;
System.out.println(k);

Q:How many times will the loop be executed ?
(It is a java based question)

Answer 1

The given loop will be executed three times .

For the first time in the while loop , the value of i is 3 due to use of increment operator and it's value is less than 6 , the loop will work . The value k = k×i will be printed , equal to 3.

The next time the value of i is incremented by one and is equal to 4 and is less than 6. Thus , the while loop will be executed . This time the value of k = k×i is printed , equal to 12.

The while loop will work for the last time for I = 5 and the value printed will be 60.

After i= 5 the while loop will not work because the condition of the loop is not satisfied .

Answer 2

Answer:

3 times

Explanation:

1st loop, k=3

2nd loop, k=12

3rd loop, k=60
